Dear mother,

I have had commissioned my official portrait, which has hopefully arrived unscathed with this letter. I hope this will be something to remember me by, as I am unlikely to be able to return home in the near future. I know Rosie was bursting with pride when I was knighted, and I regret not having been able to visit home to show her the medal.

Unfortunately, the artist had very little concept of naval warfare, and anyone with a lick of common sense will be appalled by the mistakes. The poor wretch absolutely insisted on portraying me in my parade uniform, saying something about 'official policy'. I was adamant at least to use my proper boarding sword rather than the flimsy golden thing he suggested.

Despite these shortcomings, I hope it can still bring some consolation for my long absence.

With all my love

Jno. Cooke, RN

 

Here the setup I used. In reality it was just a test picture, but I was so happy with the result I decided to use this setup.

Impressive portrait in a fight scene! The second photo where I can see how the portrait was made is funny. No professional background, on the table there is 1 ship, 1 fake ship and a lot of mess.

[Ross Fisher]

Lovely portrait. Hilarious pose.

[Tezclatipoca]

lovely.

Your character seems a hearty sailor and a vaillant fighter !

[Professor Thaum]

Great portrait with a nice background shot.

[Garmadon]

I hope you're happy with this 'cause that's some lovely photography!   The pose and rigging are of course great as well, must have been a pain to hold it for long enough to be painted though!
